Foundation Learning
Our Foundation Learning programme provides essential preparation for vocational courses, apprenticeships, internships, or employment. Spanning one to two years, it caters to individuals aged 16 to 19, as well as those out of education, employment, or training, focusing on personal skill enhancement.
Aligned with The Prince’s Trust, our courses bridge educational gaps and future aspirations. Available across our Enfield, Gunnersbury Park, and Mottingham campuses, our programme offers flexibility for students with varying GCSE grades. We offer tailored support, including one-to-one consultations and specialised provision for School Links students at our Enfield Campus.
The aim of Foundation Learning is to nurture your personal, social, and employability skills. Students participate in diverse class-based and practical activities, gaining exposure to the land-based industry and earning necessary qualifications in maths and English.
These courses suit 16 to 18-year-olds with minimal formal qualifications, as well as 16 to 23-year-olds with EHCPs. Applicants should enjoy outdoor work and practical activities, meeting the English and maths Entry Level 2 requirement.
